To mark our 40th anniversary, Sound On Sound magazine has made history available to everyone. From our archive, we are offering a free PDF download of our very first edition, originally published in October 1985. The debut issue, featuring Midge Ure on the cover, gives readers a chance to see where the world's leading music recording technology magazine began.
As part of the celebration, we also have the original TV advert that aired in the UK during Channel 4’s iconic music show The Tube, the same campaign that introduced the magazine to the music community four decades ago.
Sound On Sound magazine has consistently remained at the forefront of music recording technology since it was first launched in October 1985 by the visionary SOS Publications Group with national TV advertisements on the UK's top Channel 4 TV music show, The Tube.
For 40 years now, we've been championing the convergence of music software, MIDI, computer technology and audio recording equipment that continues to revolutionise the audio production market today.
